THE HOLY FEMALE MARTYR THEODOTIA

July 29

From the Prologue

Theodotia was a young widow with three children. In Thessalonica, together
with St. Anastasia (December 22), Theodotia labored in the work of God completely
dedicated to a pious life. During the time of Diocletian's persecution, she was
sentenced to death and, together with her children, was thrown into a fiery
furnace. Their holy souls soared into the Heavenly Fatherland.
